Lyrics & chords

[Intro 1]
[Am][C][F][Am]
[G]

[Verse 1]
She was [C]leaning
on a rail in a cotton dress
Sum[F]mer tanned, pretty,
little perfect mess
With a [Am]story that could only be
anybody's [G]guess
And I was [C]thinking that I probably
didn't stand a chance
But [F]I rolled up my sleeves,
walked up and I said
"Hey, I [Am]know I don't know you
but I'd [G]kinda like [F]a shot"[G]
She said, "I [Am]saw you comin' over,
[G]I already thought it over
And [F]okay, so now [G]what?"

[Verse 2]
And I said, "Well, [C]I got a car",
she said, "There's something
At [F]least it's a start", I said,
"It's better than nothing
I [Am]ain't in no hurry but
I'm ready when you [G]are"
And she said, "Where [C]do you
think all this is going?"
[F]I said, "There ain't no way of knowing
I [Am]guess I hadn't [G]thought it
through that [F]far[G]
But I got a car"
[C]

[Verse 3]
So, we let the wheels turn
and the windows down
We let [F]ourselves go all
the way through town
She [Am]nev er said,
"Stop" and I never asked her [G]why
We drove [C]into the night,
when outta nowhere
She said, "I'd [F]give anything
to never go back there
And [Am]I kinda wish this [G]day
would never [F]end"[G]
She said, [Am]"I could use a change but I[G]
don't even [F]know where to begin"
[G]

[Verse 4]
And I said, "Well, [C]I got a car",
she said, "There's something
At [F]least it's a start", I said,
"It's better than nothing
I [Am]ain't in no hurry but I'm
ready when you are"
[G]And she said,
[C]"Where do you think all this is going?"
I [F]said, "There ain't no way of knowing
[Am]I really hadn't [G]thought it
through that [F]far[G]
And [Am]I can't promise [G]you the
moon and [F]stars[G]
But I got a car"
[C]

[Verse 5]
We got [F]lost in the miles,
lost track of the days
'Til we [C]finally found
a stopping place
When the [Am]doctor said,
[G]"You know what's on the [F]way?"
And we found ourselves
in a little white house
One [C]Sunday morning, rain pouring down
She [Am]said, "I think [G]it's time but
[F]all the lines [G]are out"
And her [Am]eye s teared up as she s[G]aid,
"What are we [F]gonna do [G]now?"

[Verse 6]
And I said, "Well [C]I got a car",
she said, "There's something
You [F]think it'll start", I said,
"It's already running
Got your [Am]things in the back and
I'm ready when you [G]are"
She said, "Are you [C]sure it'll get
us where we're goin'?"
[F]I said, "If there's one thing I know, girl,
[Am]it's gotte[G]n us this far[F][G]
And I don't [Am]mean to hurry but I'm [G]ready
when you [F]are"

[Outro 1]
